North Africa · November 2027

Morocco: the imperial cities, Casablanca to Marrakech

Our kosher tour of Morocco is ten days with the group and an English-speaking guide: the imperial cities of Rabat, Meknes and Fes, the Roman ruins of Volubilis, Marrakech and its Mellah, the Atlantic coast at Essaouira, and the Ourika Valley and the Agafay Desert below the Atlas Mountains.

Every meal is Glatt Kosher Mehadrin; where a hotel or restaurant cannot meet our standard, our own mashgiach and cook travel with the group. Shabbat is in Marrakech, kept at the 500-year-old Lazama Synagogue in the Mellah. The Aben Danan Synagogue in Fes, the Miâara Jewish Cemetery in Marrakech and the Chaim Pinto Synagogue in Essaouira are on the way. The place guide, with the history of the mellahs, is kosher Morocco.

Two private safaris

A safari in South Africa or Zambia, kosher throughout

Our two kosher safari trips are each eight days and each run privately for your own party. Choose South Africa for a city and a safari in one week; choose Zambia for the falls and a longer stay deep in the bush.

A private safari is yours alone: your party, your dates, your pace. The drives start early and the middle of the day is for rest. Every meal on both is Glatt Mehadrin, under the supervision of the Johannesburg Beit Din. More on both, side by side: kosher safari.
